Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The auxiliary cooling radiator was punctured by a foreign object, resulting in leaking coolant and engine overheat. The radiator is located in the lower left side of the bumper, with a large opening and no protection, leaving it susceptible to damage from rocks or even large enough insects while driving. The incident occurred while driving, causing my engine to overheat, and the need to pull over and have the car towed.”
